The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) is the classic film being shown for the free Monday Matinees Series at Old Greenbelt Theatre.  The movie is based on Pulizer prize winning novel. The novel traces the growth of the United States through the decline of the once-powerful socially prominent Amberson family. Their fall is contrasted with the rise of new industrial tycoons and land developers, whose power comes not through family connections but through financial dealings and modern manufacturing. 

 

Lunch or dessert and coffee could be had at one of the small restaurants near the theatre after the movie. Please register to let us know so that arrangements can be made for a group.   Please request a ride from the Coordinator by calling 240-770-1030 4 to 5 days in advance.
